Arthur McBride wrote:When POM came on he actually hit rucks instead of standing next to them and won penalties on the ground instead of giving them away. He also won the ball that set Trimble up for his try.

No. A hail-Mary offload which Buton headered straight into Reddan's hands is what made that try.

Sounds exactly like the reasoning for selecting TOL from a year ago.

You see, I just can't understand how someone who actually watched the game on Saturday can come to this conclusion.

If the SH takes an age to give the ball to the carriers the defence can set and crowd the area with tacklers, slowing down the ball and stopping them on or before the gainline; even if the carrier runs on to it at pace. With the SH getting the ball out of the ruck much faster (this assumes that the...

Now you're making stuff up. I never said they had to check for passes. I said he gives it to them statically. i.e the ball is slowed down so much that they have to reset by carrying into contact from a standing start as opposed to running on to it further from the ruck when Reddan passes the ball q...

Finally won a league game today.

(We've been pretty shithouse this year). Someone fell out of a ruck and landed on the side of my knee. Was sore enough at the time but it went away, ran it off. Stiffened up later on as the night wore on though and I'm hoping it's not too bad.

Beat Bective 20-6 today. First league win of the season, but f**king delighted. We'll still finish bottom of the pile and have to go into a promotion/relegation play-off barring a hugely unlikely win against Belvo next Sunday, but it was good to knock someone off. Also, on a side note; I discovered ...

D'Arcy was grand. But he was up against the Italian centres playing outside of those halfbacks. He won't be near a performance like that against the likes of France's centres. True enough. But he did look the better of our players in the centre. At least I thought so. Oh, absolutely. I'd just be ca...

The Howlett re-signing makes it pretty clear Bowe won't be going there. Murray ROG Earls Downey Lualala Howlett Jones Isn't exactly that bad a backline, obviously Downey is limited and ROG is ROG but there's talent in the rest. There's plenty of talent in ROG too Earl!!

This morning:

Incline DB bench press: 35kg x5x5

Hanging leg raises: 8x3
Side plank rotations: 8 each side x3

Dips: BW x12x3
T-bar row: 40kg x10x3

Wall angels: 12x2

Whatever about his age, he's uncapped and therefore can be assigned to the project slot now that Diack is IQ.

Also, resigned≠re-signed. Sort it out.

Cardiff are a stiffer test.
Plus I just get annoyed by Horan so easily. I dont even know why.

Not a word!

Optimistic and all that Quinlan's piece is, I don't see AIL faring all that well in future years unless the IRFU does more to support the clubs. There are too many fans getting into rugby by the armchair supporter route and bypassing the clubs altogether with their fervent support for the provinces...

Marshy came on on the wing in the Wales match. Think he can cover back three as well as OH.

I don't really care how she came by the job. She has an unreal set of jubblies. meh, any old tourist with the right plastic surgeon. I don't see the issue with bolt-ons generally. Some look ridiculous obviously, but plenty look great. I wouldn't be getting snobby about fake tits. They can still loo...

Sara Varone.

She's got quite the google image collection, including her tits popping out of dresses on some Italian game show (like in that gif) and a nuddie calendar.

So I've been told.......

So..any one got any word on who is taking over from TMcg? Why? Is he leaving?how did you find out so quick? And,it's Eddie. Eddie's name is being bandied about a little bit too frequently for my liking. It is going to be very hard for some people to accept that Eddie is actually a far more intellig...

Ropey enough session this morning. Wasn't quite awake and got a couple of niggles on a game on Monday night.

Climate change or not, it's a big obvious piece of evidence of how much we can fudge up the ecology and climate of this planet by carrying on without any regard for the consequences of our actions. Maybe it's not climate change insofar as it's always bee arid around there and diverting the water jus...

That's worth a go is it? I have that at home but haven't read it. Dunno where I got it from. Never bought it myself, think my dad found it somewhere or took it from work.

As for the rucks, sure you're big boys now. Sort that out between yourselves. I wouldn't be averse to the odd shoe in the back to encourage someone to move. I'd expect it myself if I was in the way. It was more that it wasn't clear when you were allowed to challenge for the ball on the floor. They ...

If we end up in the same division as Seapoint next year I'll cry Only if you can drop 2 leagues in 1 off-season. Seapoint can get promoted too. It'll be Trinity and DLSP going up I'd say. We've yet to play Seapoint while DLSP and Seaspoint played yesterday. DLSP are still ahead of them and I'd put ...

Only got in for a very quick session this afternoon. Bus didn't run as planned and got in later than I'd meant to; gym closes early on Sunday.

SA DB row: 42.5kg x8 each side x5

Just looking at the fixtures for 2A this weekend. There was a nice top of the table clash. Trinity (1st) played Queens (3rd) and DLSP (2nd) played Seapoint (4th) Trinity and Seapoint won (both away from home) so we extended our lead over DLSP by another 4 points and Seapoint jumped Queens to 4th.

Trinity beat Queens away from home 20-6 earlier. The firsts are having an excellent season. 9 points clear at the top of the table. That's the team with Marshy, Warren Larkin, Paddy Lavelle and all those lads isn't it? Yep. Although Marshy's playing for the 20s. Warren's benching these days and Pad...

Use of Weapons is one of his best IMO. Really well crafted story as the protagonist's pastis slowly revealed over the course of his latest mission. The story in itself is decent enough (highly evolved civilisations meddling with the development of other, more primitive ones), but the way the charact...
